[info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 6 idle, and 37 total children
Is there a way I can track the HTTP traffic to which domain is running with high traffic. Due to traffic load I/O wait is increasing. I want to suspend the domain that have the large traffic to avoid down time.
I have a pages with high load - load avg is about 10-20.
and in the error_log of the apache message:
[Mon Mar 17 18:10:19 2008] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 6 idle, and 32 total children
it's getting to the point where I need to optimize MySQL to better handle a busy server.
These days it seems MySQL is using 30% - 60% CPU almost constantly. But, the good news is that I've got 4 gigs of ram on this box and their seems to be an access of 600mb free constantly throughout the day.
Is it possible to tweak MySQL to a little more RAM dependent and take some of the load off the CPU? It seems MySQL wont go over 300mb of ram at any given time.. I'm already working on optimizing the SQL Querys on the web page itself.
my.cnf (4.1.22-standard):
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). # old_passwords=1
Are there any services where an ADMIN can monitor DB usage on system and make some recommendations or even find SQL that is poorly written ...
I have a DUAL harpertown, 10GB RAM, and RAID
I have a typical, gallery, busy VB forum, and video script...
THe site traffic has not increased much but my Memory keeps getting chewed up... i already did some tuning that VBULLLETIN suggested... but the memory still goes... i need a tool or someone to just monitor the server for a day and grab as much diagnostic info as possible..
I suspect that its a single query giving problems cuz i have some custom coded pages...
I don't want to split the DB and HTTP request on diff servers cuz the traffic that i get shouldn't warrant it... for now...
i'm hosting a forum (~80 simultalinous users online) In a VDS 512 MB RAM, Linux Debian with apache 1.3 and mysql 4.1 , php4.
Apache seems to be busy, pages don't even load, this can be resolved by restating apache. and after a couple of time (about 4 hours) it does the same thing again, and i do have to restart it again and looping ...
Here is my httpd.conf file :
Code: Timeout 200 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 200 KeepAliveTimeout 3 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 15 StartServers 5 MaxClients 20 HostnameLookups Off
Wanted to share a bit (read vent a bit if you're cynical ).
Just got the following e-mail from hostmonster.

Apparently, there are two files on my website that are being hit quite a bit, and causing the server to slow down. (I admit, its a busy site, and the files are very big).
The files aren't new there, and neither is the traffic, but the plug was pulled with no warning what so ever, and no offer of remediation on their part beyond refunding the remaining portion of my contract (I would hope so too!).
I can understand that they may not be able to continue to host my site due to the volume of traffic it generates, but they really could have handled this much better.
What minimum VPS specs should I be looking for to support a PHPBB3 forum that uses 100GB/mth bandwidth and has 50 concurrent users at peak times (measured by PHPBB, so not real-time concurrent)?
And are there any suggestions for inexpensive ($30 or less) options that would be worth trying? Have never used a VPS before.
If not, are there any shared hosting providers that specialize in hosting message boards like PHPBB?
Can anybody suggest a large hosting company based in France?
I'm looking for hosting that can handle a high bandwith, high profile, busy website. We will require excellent customer support and a professional attitude.
I am using apache 2.2 webserver and tomcat 6 as app server.
I have two unix boxes (let say A and B) where apache is installed for load balancing purpose.
The issue is now and then I see that on both the server reaches to 250 busy servers which makes my site very slow and after some time the site is unaccessible.
When I see this I restart apache on both unix boxes and also restart my app server.
But that does not work. As soon as I start apache the httpd process ramps up to 12 (ps -ef | grep httpd) within a minute and the busy servers still remains at 250.
The only I have to do is wait and watch till the busy servers goes down to 250 and then site is back to normal.
Some times it takes hours for busy servers to go down below 250.
I dont understand that why even restarting apache and tomcat doesn't work. why the busy servers are still at 250. even after I restart.

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription 2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents 3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.
I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements: Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20) 10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do 500MHz CPU is all cool 512MB or more RAM 5GB diskspace is enough Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms) Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.
I have been searching everywhere trying to find a tutorial but It is not going anywhere. Basically I need to create 2 nameservers for Godaddy and pretty much so when i type http://mysite.com it goes to my site. I can access everything from http://myip and everything works. Now is there a step by step on how to actually do it in the DNS Manager? I need help like what IP address do I use is it the router ip? The external IP?
Site is currently running on a single code single cpu p4 server. Am thinking of upgrading to a quad core Xeon server.
My site is pretty dynamic with lots of hits to php / mysql, and has trouble keeping up with the requests sometimes. Would a quadcore Xeon significantly help?
Server Software: Windows 2003 Server php 5.2.6 apache 2 mysql 4.1
Current Setup: P4 2.8 single core/cpu.
Proposed setup Xeon 3210 quadcore
I guess my confusion lies in the following:
1. Can win2003 server make use of the quadcores? 2. Does php / apache / mysql make use of the quadcores? 3. Will i see a significant increase in the amount of pages i can serve?
